Ansel Adams (1902–1984) was a renowned American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his iconic black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West. Born in San Francisco, Adams initially aspired to become a concert pianist but eventually found his true passion in photography.
In the 1920s, he co-founded the Group f/64, a collective of photographers advocating for “straight photography” that emphasized sharp focus and detailed clarity. Adams’ work often showcased the breathtaking beauty of natural landscapes, with a particular focus on the national parks, including Yosemite and Yellowstone.
Ansel Adams’ technical mastery of photography, especially his innovative use of the Zone System for exposure control, set him apart as a pioneer in the field. His influential book “The Camera,” co-authored with Fred Archer, became a seminal work on photographic technique.
Beyond his artistic contributions, Adams was a dedicated environmentalist and played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Sierra Club’s Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography. His tireless efforts to promote environmental awareness through his photography left an enduring legacy, inspiring generations of photographers and nature enthusiasts. Adams received numerous accolades during his lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980, recognizing his significant contributions to both the arts and conservation.
